Floor joint sealing in Burghfield, done properly
Few warehouses can shut a whole floor while joints are done, so we phase the work aisle by aisle or bay by bay. Share your site hours and access windows and the programme is built around them, with goods still moving in the areas we aren’t in. If you have brittle joint filler breaking up and soft sealant dragged out of trafficked joints, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Burghfield? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Jobs around smaller places like Burghfield are planned so the whole job is done in one visit, with the right materials on hand. Note joint widths and the traffic that uses them, and we will take it from there.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why deal with it now?
Tape, or whatever sealant is in the stores cupboard, may look like a fix for a while. None of it is designed for wheel loads and traffic soon pulls it out. The right filler or sealant saves doing it twice. For buildings around smaller places like Burghfield, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Common problems we fix in Burghfield
Oil, laitance, dust and old cleaning chemicals build up inside joints. Without cutting back to sound, clean concrete the new filler can’t stay bonded.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Dock area joints that have failed first
- Trucks and loads jolting over damaged joints
- Joint fill separating from the concrete
- Unfilled floor joints collecting dirt and grit
For buildings at a park such as Theale Lakes Business Park, which lies north-west of Burghfield, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.

What the job involves on each surface

Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Joints that move: notes for Burghfield
Burghfield lies roughly 42 miles out from central London. Warehousing clusters around the motorways that ring and radiate from London. Rainfall across the South East, Burghfield included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External joints still wait for dry conditions, and gritting in cold spells finds its way into open joints.
Large sites such as Battle Hospital, 4.2 miles to the north-east of Burghfield, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. For a school such as Burghfield St Mary's C.E. Primary School, playground and building joints can be done in the holidays.

Quoting for work in Burghfield
To price the job, we consider:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Where the site is, with the postcode
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
